View the E-Kit resources

Members of the Policy ASPA have developed an E-Kit that addresses current music education policies and policy-related topics. These resources were designed to provide music teacher educators, in-service music teachers, and pre-service music teachers with information important for understanding and interacting with policy.

Attendees at the Policy ASPA’s working session during the 2017 SMTE Symposium identified three action items that define our agenda for the next two years:

• Action Item #1: Develop policy resources for inservice teachers and music teacher educators. This includes resources for the places such as the NAfME Advocacy and Research pages and state MEAs.
• Action Item #2: Consider policies that enable diversifying music education curriculum in higher education. We are developing longer-term research projects to learn about this topic.
• Action Item #3: Compose a policy statement addressing equitable access to music education in a time of school choice.
